The simplicity of the Hajj of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)

What is the level of authenticity of this Hadith?

“Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) performed Hajj on an old saddle, wearing a cloak that was worth four Dirhams or less. Then He said: ‘O Allah, (this is) a Hajj in which there is no showing off nor reputation sought”

Answer

Imam Ibn Majah (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu). ‘Allamah Busiri (rahimahullah) has declared the chain weak.

(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 2890, Zawaid Ibn Majah, pg. 388, Hadith: 967)

Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded the following words:

“The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) had performed Hajj sitting on a pack-saddle, which was also carrying his baggage/luggage.”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1517)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

I have come across Muslims who try and justify that we are permitted to eat the meat of the Jews/Christians, as is, e.g. McDonalds, supermarkets etc on the basis of the opinion given by Yusuf Al- Qaradawi. They say that, it is perfectly allowed to eat the animal slaughtered by a Christian or a Jew, regardless of the method used in slaughtering. On this basis, they consider meat sold in western supermarkets and other places to be perfectly Halal. It should be noted that at a conference of the Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA) in the U.S. a few years ago, where Sheikh Qaradawi is a regular speaker, he became exasperated upon being asked this question. He has encouraged, in the North American context, where Muslim businesses are present that Muslims buy from these stores as opposed to purchasing from the supermarket.
